Workers Compensation Representation by Attorney Marc J. Atas
Compensation laws are designed to compensate an employee or their family members in work related injuries. But too often the benefits due are not paid. Frequently victims are forced to suffer administrative delays and lengthy appeals before obtaining any Workers Compensation benefits.
Individuals seeking to obtain Workers Compensation need the assistance of a Workers Compensation attorney who fully understands this area of law. The worker's compensation insurance companies and your employer have attorneys who are very well trained to represent their interests. Workers' compensation laws are meant to ensure that employees, who are injured or disabled on the job, are provided with excellent medical treatment, lost wages until they can return to work, vocational rehabilitation, and a monetary award. The Workers Compensation laws also provide benefits for dependents of those workers who are killed because of work-related accidents or illnesses.

Workers Compensation A to Z
Any employee injured on the job, is entitled to workers' compensation benefits regardless of whether the accident is the fault of the employer or the fault of the employee, unless the employee is guilty of gross misconduct.
Every employer in the State of Maryland is required to purchase workers' compensation insurance. Any claims for workers' compensation is against the insurance company your employer has named. All workers' compensation benefits are paid by that insurance company and as long as there is insurance, the employer is not responsible for any payments. Other than a workers' compensation claim, no claim is actually filed against your employer, although he is notified that a claim has been filed with the Workers' Compensation Commission. Your employer has workers' compensation insurance in order to protect you if you are injured on the job.
